People under 35 years old who frequently use sun beds double their risk for dangerous skin cancers. Among those who only tried synthetic tanning just one time, skin cancer risks were 22% higher than average.
Scientists at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research came to those conclusions after analyzing the results of 21 previous studies.
